I like this salad in the summer with our BBQ evenings. It is tart and a little hot. If you don't do hot so well, use one pepper.

TROPICAL CUCUMBER SALAD

My friend Buffy gave me this recipe. I really didn't think that it would be that great, but it really is! This salad is very light and refreshing and would be the perfect side dish to a light summer meal. I think that it would pair perfectly with grilled salmon or seared tuna. Best if made within an hour or two of serving. Does not keep well overnight.
